Embed This Verse

3 When Judas, who had betrayed him,e saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silverf to the chief priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.”

5 So Judas threw the money into the templeh and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.i

6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.” 7 So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.
